Conclusion Philip Pullman has given us a potent myth for our times in the trilogy His Dark Materials (1995-2000). Both a dramatic, entertaining fairy story and a deeply meaningful allegory, this work engages with the present turning-point in the collective psyche by having woven into it, in an unobtrusive way, a number of concepts derived from modern physics. As the story develops, one is gradually made aware of the mysterious "dust". One is led to understand that the dust is of overriding significance for the very survival of the human race, but that it is leaking away. The protagonists, two children on the verge of adolescence, find themselves engaged in a quest to stop the haemorrhage of dust and so save the world. What is the dust? Although never baldly stated, it can be understood as one of the fundamental particles. Just as physics tells us of particles of light (photons) and of charge (electrons), so dust would consist of particles of love. About the Author: Roger Taylor, PhD, qualified first in physiology (BSc) and veterinary science (BVSc).
